7 year attorney, 3, going on 4 years in PI. Looking to make a move to another PI firm with a larger caseload. I’m not quite sure of the exactly case load, but I know I would mainly be a research and writing associate, with the partners handling the court aspects.

I’m currently at $76k with a “whatever he feels like” bonus, which has been anywhere between between $6k-$15k. Case load is less than 100 cases at any given time; currently, about 15-20 cases.

(See comments for question)

Would I be completely off base to ask for $125k salary with a 3% bonus for pre litigation and 5% for cases that go into litigation and 50% for cases that I bring in. Help me!!

I’d gravitate towards a lower base and higher %.

Also thank you! I’m so nervous!!!

How much are you settling yourself?

Currently, haven’t been given the opportunity; going forward, willing and able.

Hello All,
I am finishing up my second year of practice as a lawyer. I transitioned to plaintiffs pi work from a boutique commercial litigation firm. I like the work and not having to bill. The issue I am having is managing volume. I have about 150 active files some pre-lit and the rest are in litigation. Cases range in value from very small to low six figures.

What's your preference for plaintiff's side? Steady pay at approximately $120k with no bonuses, or a base salary of $70k plus a cut of what you close over a minimum threashold? Midwest-ish market. In both situations, you get a cut of what you bring in.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
